Mary Heilmann: Good Vibrations

Mary Heilmann: Good Vibrations

With this substantial volume, the much loved New York painter Mary Heilmann (born 1940) receives a monograph worthy of her influential ouevre. Perennially tagged an artistâ€™s artist, Heilmann paints as though unencumbered by precedent or influence, brazenly delighting in bright color, strong gesture, all laced with a palpable sense of play, warmth and fun. Her inspiring knack for insouciant gestures embody what critic Dave Hickey, speaking of her work, called â€œthe surferâ€™s ethic of finding the moment to fall and never trying too hard to save your life.â€ Cubist clutter, Constructivist rigor, Abstract Expressionist splatter and Color Field glow all play a part in her approach, which nonetheless is always immediately recognizable as her own. This volume, which accompanies her 2012â€“13 major touring European retrospective, is the largest appraisal of her work yet published.
